AV Quote, Inc. – Terms of Service (TOS)

Effective Date: November 11, 2025

Welcome to AV Quote, Inc. ("AV Quote," "we," "us"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of avquote.com (the "Site") and our quoting services ("Services"). By using the Site/Services, you agree to these Terms. If you are using on behalf of a business, you represent authority to bind it.

1. Services Overview

AV Quote provides a streamlined platform for event planners to submit RFQs for AV services (e.g., sound, lighting, projectors). Quotes are generated by our exclusive partner, Five-Star Audio Visual, Inc. ("Five-Star"), under common ownership. We do not provide multi-vendor bidding; all fulfillment is via Five-Star.

2. Eligibility and Accounts

You must be 18+ and a legitimate business user. Provide accurate info; we may suspend for violations.

3. User Conduct

  • Submit truthful RFQs; no spam/abuse.
  • Do not reverse-engineer or interfere with the Site.
  • Comply with laws (e.g., export controls on AV tech).

4. Quotes and Fulfillment

  • RFQs are non-binding until accepted by Five Star.
  • Quotes valid for [e.g., 30 days]; subject to availability/force majeure.
  • Once accepted, Five Star's rental terms apply (e.g., payment, damage liability). AV Quote is not liable for Five Star's performance.
  • Cancellation: [e.g., 50% fee if <48 hours notice].

5. Payments

Billed via Five Star post-quote acceptance. We process no payments directly.

6. Ownership and IP

You retain RFQ ownership; we get a license to use for Services. Site content (e.g., trademarks) is ours/Five Star's; no unauthorized use.

Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance): AV Quote is owned by the same parties as Five Star. Trademarks (e.g., AV Quote®) are held by Five Star. Services are a quoting portal powered by Five Star—no pretense of independence. This avoids deceptive practices under FTC Section 5.

7. Disclaimers and Liability

Services "AS IS"; no warranties. Liability capped at fees paid (if any). No consequential damages.

8. Termination

We may terminate for breach; you may stop using anytime.

9. Governing Law

Illinois law applies; disputes in Dupage courts. Arbitration for claims < $10K.

10. Changes

We may update Terms; notice via Site.
